Ability to upload a file via FTP or to websites

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since we are running in a browser, I'd like the option to set up an FTP
program (for instance via the built-in FTP in the core Firefox, or via an
extension or program to be defined, or via the "transfer" thing of Opera,
etc...), and then to be able to upload directly a file with a few clicks. 

Maybe also being able to upload to sharing sites (petaimg, imageshack.us or
the ones which support SVG...) would be nice.

(This is a request for future enhancements)

Don't think we can do anything through FTP on the client-side. We could set up 
another extension to work with a server-based script to send a file through 
given FTP though. 

By the "transfer" thing of Opera, do you mean Opera Unite? Would need to look 
into how to accomplish that, may or may not be an option.

I'm also trying to think of how the site uploading could be practically 
done...the main problem is that the site would have to be willing to and set up 
to accept a file sent from SVG-edit, which may be a bit much to ask. If they 
were interested in doing so though, we could definitely work something out. 

Setting priority of this issue to low until it's more clear what exactly is 
desired and what's possible.

A little related to this perhaps, is cloudcanvas' integration with google docs 
for loading and saving.

I agree that it would be cool to be able to contribute directly to the open 
clipart library etc, although obviously there would need to be a way to enter 
metadata for the image, which on its own would be a nice addition to svg-edit.

Since we can't really do anything with FTP through the browser directly, I'd 
suggest closing this issue.  This is up to an extension coupled with 
server-side code.
